Welcome to the latest Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast. On this episode, I\'m chatting Costume Designers Lou Eyrich & Sarah Evelyn who has recently been Emmy-nominated for their stunning work on Ryan Murphy\'s Netflix drama \'Hollywood\'.

From Murphy and collaborator Ian Brennan (\\u2018Glee\\u2019, \\u2018Scream Queens\\u2019, \\u2018The Politician\\u2019), the alt-history series follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood try to make it big \\u2013 no matter the cost. Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood\\u2019s Golden Age, spotlighting the unfair systems and biases across race, gender and sexuality that continue to this day. Provocative and incisive, \\u2018Hollywood\\u2019 exposes and examines decades-old power dynamics, and what the entertainment landscape might look like if they had been dismantled.

The impressive cast includes David Corenswet (\\u2018The Politician\\u2019) as Jack, Darren Criss (\\u2018American Crime Story\\u2019) as Raymond, Jim Parsons (\\u2018The Big Bang Theory\\u2019) as Henry Willson, Dylan McDermott (\\u2018American Horror Story\\u2019) as Ernie, Patti LuPone (\\u2018Pose\\u2019) as Avis, Joe Mantello (\\u2018The Normal Heart\\u2019) as Dick, Holland Taylor (\\u2018Two and a Half Men\\u2019) as Ellen Kincaid, Jeremy Pope (\\u2018The Ranger\\u2019) as Archie, , Samara Weaving (\\u2018SMILF\\u2019) as Claire, Maude Apatow (\\u2018Euphoria\\u2019) as Henrietta and Jake Picking (\\u2018Chasing Life\\u2019) as Rock Hudson. 

If you\'re wondering why the show had two costume designers, this is something rather unique to Ryan Murphy. Having worked with Ryan for over 20 years, Lou works as something of a costume overlord (which she should totally have on her business card!) managing the look and style of all his shows from \'Pose\' to \'American Horror Story\' to \'9-1-1\' and the upcoming \'Ratched\', along with everything in-between!

As Lou moves from project to project, she works with other talented designers, such as Sarah to oversee the individual shows. Prior to \'Hollywood\', Sarah\'s previous work includes film and tv such as \'American Horror Story\', \'Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw\', and \'Ray Donovan\'. She is currently working on David Leitch\\u2019s \'Bullet Train\' with Brad Pitt and Joey King.

In the interview, Lou and Sarah discuss diving into the golden age of Hollywood. The duo chats about their painstaking research, not only into 1940s glamour, but also the day-to-day clothing of the up and coming stars. They also discuss Ryan\'s influence over the costume choices on the drama, recreating the clothing of real-world people, and designing their very own Oscar ceremony!
